Oliynykova Calls for Sanctions on Shnaider

After a 7-5, 6-1 defeat at Roland Garros, Ukrainian tennis star Oleksandra Oliynykova urged that Diana Shnaider face sanctions for playing in a Gazprom-sponsored event in Russia.

Oliynykova criticised Shnaider for participating in a Gazprom-funded exhibition in Russia, calling the sport’s governing bodies hypocritical for allowing it. She said she would not comment on the war publicly, but wanted to expose the injustice and push for sanctions. The call comes after Oliynykova’s French Open victory over Shnaider. milkshake.it.com
